Haversham & Updates

Hi Folks, it is the Inland Champs this coming weekend at Haversham SC, one of the traditional homes of the LN. Super lake venue very close to Milton Keynes, very easy to get too, just off the M40.

Haversham always makes for a nice event, really nice little club, with a great little lake to sail on and plenty of room on and off the water.

Do get along if you can for our last but one event of the year.

Rum and Mince Pie

Talking of last events of the year, we have posted up the NORs for the Rum and Mince Pie at West Oxford SC. Always a great end to the season and as usual we plan to pop down the pub afterwards for a quick meal and bit of a social. Caroline has already booked the Windrush and reserved places for us. There is lots of local B&Bs if you want to stay over, The Laurels really is opposite the pub and a nice place to stay if you want to drive home in the morning.

Bristol Avon Open
We had a super event at Bristol Avon,the first time the LNs have visited the club. they have a good sized home fleet and plenty turned out for the event. Winds were very light, but a good time was had by all.

The race report is published and we’ll get the full results and series table updated later this week.

Inclusion in the Open Series
We have had a few queries about the open series and who gets included.

The current class rules are fairly clear on the matter. Anyone can take part in a open event, class association member or not. They can win, or be placed, but they can not claim an association trophy unless they are a class member and their result will not be included in the open series tables.

The nationals is also a CA members only event. This was agreed last year and used for the 2014 season for the first time.

We do of course want people to take part and enjoy our events, but also be fair to class members who pay their annual subs. We think this is a fair approach for all.
